DIY ~ Make a Junk O'Lantern

You know, the drawer where you toss things that you might need some day but don't really have a clear category for organizing them? Well, I decided to decorate a pumpkin with junk drawer findings to thin it out. So this little $2.00 pumpkin will be dubbed a Junk O'Lantern. Here's how I made her!
First, gather materials from your junk drawer and get a pumpkin! Plan your pumpkin face by laying out the features. Then hot glue them right onto the pumpkin (some of the keys were inserted into the pumpkin).
Okay, in the spirit of fun and Fall, my good friend Melissa (a.k.a. The Empress of Dirt) and I are hosting a competition to design the best pumpkin faces. Knowing us, you know there aren't a lot of rules, just that it must be original, a pumpkin with a face and appear on your blog.
Enjoyed the project?

Swan Road Designs on Oct 19, 2014How cute. I just might have to rummage through our junk drawer, plus I have 3 styrofoam pumpkins I bought just to fiddle with. Thanks for the idea. P.S. How's D.C.? I lived there for 30 years before moving here.
